"Compiling recordings that span the '70s through the '90s, Stroking the Tail of the Bird highlights the Gong co-founders Allen and Smyth, along with Mother Gong alumnus Williamson, at their enigmatic best. Glissando guitars and meditative synthesizers combine to make timeless and ethereal psychedelia on par with Allen's best work in Gong. Includes a bonus 7", pressed on 180 gram vinyl."
